Laguna Niguel purchases property for Permanent City Hall

The City of Laguna Niguel has purchased property from the County of Orange for a permanent City Hall. The City has leased office space for City hall in a building on La Paz Road since incorporation in 1989. The City currently leases approximately 25,000 square feet of office space, costing the $500,000 a year.

The County decided to pursue the construction of a new South County Courthouse on the existing Laguna Niguel Regional Civic Center Site. That decision set the stage for City and County Staff to collaborate on a new Master Plan for the Regional Civic Center Site that would accommodate a new, expanded Courthouse facility, a permanent City Hall and an expanded Laguna Niguel Branch Library.

The City has taken various steps to determine its long-term office space needs and evaluated permanent City Hall alternatives since then. This took many steps starting with engaging a consultant to assist with an evaluation of City Hall alternatives, completing a Space Planning Study for a permanent City Hall, and conducting surveys to hear from the community.

The City has entered into agreement with the County of Orange to purchase the 4.1 acre site for 4 million. The property is located at the southwest corner of Crown Valley Parkway and Alicia Parkway. The City Council will hold a planning workshop in the near future to discuss the design of the permanent City Hall building and to seek input.
